Abstract: The measuring apparatus comprises an eddy current brake and torque meter (8). The eddy current brake has a stator (20) with stator windings (210) and an electrically conducting plate rotor (320) mounted on a shaft (310). The stator (20) is integrated with a supporting cage (10) and the shaft (310) is mounted on bearings (330,331) in the cage and stator. The motor being tested is connected through a coupling plate (70) and the torque is measured by the torquemeter (8) located adjacent to the stator.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un réflecteur ajustable (1) présentant plusieurs éléments réflecteurs (2) montés pivotants et ayant chacun une surface réflectrice (3). Les éléments réflecteurs (2) peuvent pivoter dans au moins deux directions et/ou être accouplés mutuellement et pivoter ensemble. La surface réflectrice (3) peut présenter une feuille tendue d'aluminium ou d'argent. Les éléments réflecteurs (2) peuvent être des sphères au moins partiellement transparentes. Selon une variante d'exécution, il est prévu que chaque surface réflectrice soit disposée dans un plan équatorial des sphères. Ceci peut être réalisé avantageusement du point de vue technique de fabrication lorsque les sphères sont assemblées chacune à partir de deux hémisphères, la surface réflectrice étant réalisée sur la surface plane de l'une des deux hémisphères. De préférence, un accouplement simple et commode des éléments réflecteurs, avec pivotement commun parallèle, peut être obtenu, selon une autre variante d'exécution avantageuse, grâce au fait que les éléments réflecteurs sphériques sont fixés entre deux plaques à plans parallèles, dont au moins une est en un matériau transparent. Si l'une de ces plaques est déplaçable par rapport à l'autre, tout en maintenant leur espacement entre elles, un déplacement correspondant permet de faire tourner dans le même sens les éléments réflecteurs sphériques fixés entre les deux plaques, de telle sorte que la normale à leur surface réflectrice soit ajustée ou pivotée de façon voulue.

Abstract: The invention describes a method and apparatuses for characterizing groundwater measuring sites by differentiating between groundwater and static water and serves, for example, for determining the pumping-out times of groundwater measuring sites, optimum for investigations of the representative nature, as well as for identifying and localizing defects at groundwater measuring sites. The invention is based on measuring the radon activity concentration or the total activity concentration of the groundwater samples. The measurement of the concentrations by offline or online methods permits the ratio of groundwater to static water in a groundwater measuring site to be determined reliably. A novel flow-through measurement cell, as well as a borehole probe are described. The invention can be employed wherever investigations of the nature of groundwater are carried out.

Abstract: Improved liquid chromatography systems having components made of titanium, stainless steel, or organic polymeric material are useful in the separation of polynucleotide fragments, particularly large fragments of double-stranded polynucleotides, by Matched Ion Polynucleotide Chromatography (MIPC). The titanium, stainless steel, or polymeric components are treated so that they do not release multivalent cations into aqueous solutions flowing through the chromatography system. Alternatively, or in addition to utilizing materials made of the components listed above, a multivalent cation capture resin placed upstream of the separation column can be employed to remove multivalent ions from the system. The multivalent cation capture resin can be contained in a guard disk, a guard column, or a guard cartridge. Novel methods for separating mixtures of polynucleotide fragments into fractions based on their molecular weight by Matched Ion Polynucleotide Chromatography and slalom chromatography utilize the liquid chromatographic systems described above.

Abstract: A superscalar microprocessor appends a tag value to each floating point number. The tag value indicates whether the corresponding floating point number is a normal floating point number or a special floating point number. Additionally, the tag value indicates the type of special floating point number represented by the corresponding floating point number. The tag value is stored with the floating point number in a register file of the floating point unit. Tag values are also generated for floating point numbers read from memory. When a floating point core of a floating point unit receives operands from either the register file or memory, the floating point core examines the tag values to determine whether each operand is a normal floating point number or a special floating point number. If either operand is a special floating point number, the floating point core determines the type of special floating point number and applies any applicable special rules. By appending tag values to each floating point number, the floating point unit can quickly determine which floating point numbers are special floating point numbers and the type of special floating point number. This reduces the time necessary to identify floating point numbers and expedites the execution of floating point instructions.
